Trouble Ahead.

when the appetite fails, and sleep grows
trs:iess and unrefreshing, there is trouble
ahead. The digestive organs, when healthy,
crave food, the nervous system, when vigo-
rous and tranquil, gives its possessor no I'M
easiness at night. A tonic, to be effective,
should not be a mere appetizer. nor are the
nerves 10 be strengthened and soothed by the
unaided action OF a sedative or a narcotic.
What is required is a medicine which invigo-
rates the stomach, and promotes assimilation
OF food by the system. by which means the
nervous system, as well as other parts OF the
physical organism, are strengthened. These
are the effects OF Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
a medicine whose reputation is founded firm
ly In public confidence, and which physicians
commend for It's tonic. anti-billious and other
properties. 1t is used with the best results
in fever and ague, rheumatism, kidney and
uterine weakness, and other maladies.

of New Town Hall for Shepherds
town. The matter has been talked over
recently by number of gentlemen who
feel an interest In it, and some time

Curious Egg.-We were shown a
few days ago very curious egg which
was laid by hen belonging to Miss
Lucy Lane. On the small end of the
egg hard raised substance formed n
perfect figure 8. We have given con-
siderable thought TO this phenomenon,
and have finally figured 1t out in this
way: The means that there will be
war In 1889; 1t is on the small end of
the egg. ard that means the war will
not be great one; 1t Is on the shell
which signifies shells will be fired; on
the outside, shows that 1t viii be with a
foreign power. And as the egg was
laid by hen we suppose we shall con-
quer our henemies.

The Teachers Instftnfe--The
programmes have been issued for the
Teachers Institute to be held here, be-
ginning Monday morning. July lltb,
at o'clock, and continuing until FRI
day night. The subjects to be discussed
have an interest for patrons, parents,
teachers, older students, and all inter-
ested In public education.
The teachers are compelled by law TO
attend and they would like to see their
patrons and friends present every day
that they may see and know what the
teachers are doing and are compelled to
do to keep up with the advances in edu-
cational work. Parents and patrons es-
pecially should make an unusual effort
to be there and they will be amply re-
paid for the time thus spent and will see
howlhard the teachers have to work
nowadays and will, perhaps, learn
something that will interest them and
prove benefit to their children.
The sessions of the Institute will con-
tinue from to II and from 2 to 5 O'Clock
each day and the subjects and topics
taken up will be varied and discussed
with view to benefit all. Practical IL
lustrations of how subjects can be taught
will be given frequently during the
session.
On Monday night the subject: "Ho'c
can the schools of our State be made to hdr-
monte so that each grade Of school may
perform its acork to the best adcantage?"
"How can our primary schools be made
more e6icient?" These subjects will be
discussed by several teachers and the In
stitute would like to hear the views OF
all interested in education upon this and
the other.questions before the Institute.
On Tuesday night will be taken up
the question: SIS the attendance upon
our public schools aohat 1t should be? What
are some of the causes for the small at
tendance? The effects Of the small aO-
erage attendance upon the discipline Of the
school, the progress of the pupils and sala-
ries of the teachers? Is there a remedy
for the bad attendance 2"
On Thursday night will come the
question: 1.-The relative duties of'teachers
and patrons Ho,o can these be best pro-
noted for the benefit of the pupils and the
good of the SCHOOL,"
Thus, it will be seen that questions OF
great importance and interest to the
whole community will occupy the at
tention Of the Institute for three nights
in the third week of July, and our peo-
pie do not often have an opportunity OF
hearing these matters discussed. We
trust, therefore, that there will be full
attendance Of our people on the day and
night sessions of the Institute.

Suit Against Their soap Company
Decided Fayorahix.

The City Circuit Court was engaged
most of yesterday hearing the case OF
ID. w. Logan against the Richmond Co.
operative Manufacturing and CONNER
cial Company. This is the Knights-of.
Labor soap-making company.
The complainant, Logan, alleges that
the soap company was indebted to him
in the sum Of $500 for a certain patent
for making soap.
The soap company denies owing Lo-
gan anything; that they had agreed to
try the patent, and if it proved salts
factory they would pay him the price
asked. The patent was used for short
rime and it proved to be worthless.
The soap made by the Logan, process
was put upon the market and it was al
thrown hack upon their hands by the
merchants handling it, and they were
compelled to abandon the process.
Several grocers were introduced, and
testified as TO the worthlsssness Of the
soap. The jury, at late hour in the
afternoon, brought in a verdict for the
defendant.
Mr.. William Writ Henry appeared
as counsel for Logan, and Mr.. G. V.
Meredith represented the soap COM
pany.
Robert Armistead and Macon 5imms,

tiary, were each given five years addi-
